Yea, I agree, Raptor was better. Or the one where you have to fly this little spaceship from left to right. Don't remember the name.... Star-something I think....
Glad to see some ppl are also into shmups, I have a descent collection to various consoles, but for the PC I must say that Tyrian is the best one. Raptor is also good and Raiden 2 aint too shabby either, but if you like these you should really get Tyrian
Raptor should be available in Shareware................. <fires up 10 year old 386 computer with MSDOS> (If you don't have any available, consider downloading DosBox)
